Mirror mirror on the moon Are you still singing the same old tune? Our first full moon post eclipsia – that merry transformative rollercoaster that tipped our worlds on their pretty heads from July through August – is almost here. Cue maximum lunar agitation, Aries style for dramatic effect. Amped by the not insignificant impact…

As we walk into the new season heralded by the sun’s move into Libra and the equinox portal, we can leave judgement and overanalysis paralysis behind us. Virgo may always offer a giant vat of get shit done but it too can stifle our vision, drowning us in detail and nitpicky criticism. If you look…

Anger is a dirty word. Somewhere between political correctness and passive aggression, it was decreed that outright rage must be channelled. Reframed. Somehow remade into something less confronting and more palatable. Woman particularly, schooled not to make a fuss, are still shamed for the expression of our anger. Witness the disparity between how the sexes…

Flotation device anyone? Saturn’s grinding change in direction signals more than heavy existential malaise or dour proof of life. No really, darklings. These are mere symptoms, crushing though they may feel, of a greater quest in the offing. Any planet paused at the station starts poking us harder to make quite sure we get it….

Hot on the heels of that watershed full moon is the conclusion of Mars’ retrograde in mere hours from now. He has been hamstrung in reverse gear since the end of June but we have felt the effects – delays and frustration, a loss of fire or passion, disasters in battle, exasperation with Martian types…

Oh my frustrated little darklings, staring into the abyss and not feeling like now is quite right to jump. Correct you are. Tis not the time to leap nor snark nor spiral back into any previous pit o’ shit. The early days of our post eclipsia evolution are often fraught and unfamiliar, filled with crippling…

In typical fashion, Uranus arrived this morn in his own sweet time to the retrograde party. He now joins more than half our solar system in reverse gear, a boon for all of us addled and overwrought by eclipsia. Yes truly. This mad season plants the seeds for your evolution – and yes too more…

Astrofuquery warnings aside (or below, as the case may be) the thing about meatgrinder stars is that they are supremely revealing. Certainly you know more than you did at the start of this mad season, even if the awful truth has been delivered in a manner unbecoming. In much the same way a streak of…

All too often we still feel tethered to the energy of something or someone. Yet we know intuitively that it no longer serves us and that it is time to move on. Cord cutting rituals are a wonderful way to energetically sever a connection. Best performed as a meditation in ritual space, they remain a…

That old chesnut. By its very nature, refusing to forgive hooks us to precisely the stuff we’re trying to overcome and then move far from. We cling resolutely to our anger – and the fight – because it feels like forgiving the transgression condones it and lets the perpetrator off lightly. Our very real desire…
